Anyone else experiencing FC's when trying to open your contacts?

Specifically android.process.acore.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Dulanic:
Nothing here and haven't seen anyone else say a thing. Did you 3x wipe and follow the install procedures? If so might wanna try re-flashing.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Correct, for Thinkfree Office and other stock apps.

Thanks for your support!

PowerOn.wav has been removed from /etc. Add a new one of your choice.

We will be investigating the Email issues thoroughly soon.

Any issues with third-party apps, please connect your phone to your PC, and get a log with 'adb logcat'. This will help us diagnose FCs better, thanks.

See above.

See above - and our testers will investigate.

You are almost guaranteed problems if you restore /data directly from one ROM onto another ROM, especially coming from different versions. We recommend MyBackup Root, which has worked well for our testers, our kernel team, and other users.

This is a known bug in ClockworkMod 3.0.0.x. Dameon is aware of it and is working on it. There's nothing we can do about it at this time, sorry.

You need to use the PIT. Odin with it and the TAR, then install CWM3.0.0.6, wipe data, and flash the ROM. The Sprint animation and log issues clearly indicate a bad format/flash process.

The Facebook problem has been resolved since soon after it was discovered. Fully Loaded is and has been fully working, and the solution for those affected by the oddity has been posted.

Indeed it is the theming - if you modify an app and its signatures in the manifest don't match exactly, it will not install, and not work if dropped in /data/app. As for the progress bar, that was MysteryEmotionz's work - he'll have to reply on it.

No. Ensure you followed the full flash procedure. You will also experience unexpected behavior if you flash a theme that is not explicitly compatible with this ROM, and replaces the dialer, contacts, or a few other key files. See the explanation in the second post, and for more information on Carrier IQ, what it affects, and why it was removed, see the third post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Only bugs I am having are the ones mentioned in the OP (white pixels in status bar, broken search button). Everything else is amazing.

Great ROM!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Thanks for your support!

Just to note, ryno502 and others, the full-size ACS banner is for ACS members only. We greatly appreciate your support - but please use a userbar instead to avoid confusion. Thanks. :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] greezestain:
How does one do this? Even with sudo, I can't figure out how to rename that file. Could someone help a guy out? I need my Words With Friends :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ryno502:
Sorry about that. I just noticed the animated userbars in the 3rd post. Mine is changed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Use Root Explorer to set /system to RW, or, at ADB's shell, just do this:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/stl9 /system
mv /system/etc/hosts /system/etc/hosts.bak

Follow the same procedure to rename it back at any time - just switch "hosts" and "hosts.bak".
[Epic 4G Android Development] CapsLockKey:
I had this exact same problem first go around. I rebooted into CWM and wiped agained, reflashed and it worked. Must have just been a bad flash. I say try it again until it works.

As for this ROM, I love it! Getting rid of SMS from the phone log and including a wired tether that works was enough for me to like it, but the fact my phone now screams and it's cleaned out of all the bloat like TW I couldn't be happier. Only issue I've noticed so far is the search button does absolutely nothing now for some reason, but I rarely ever used that button to begin with.

I do have a question about installing the missing stock apps. Do we have to flash the zip through CWM, or do we just drag the files into their appropriate folders on the phone?
[Epic 4G Android Development] WyldOne91:
Anyone else having a problem with metamorph not working?
[Epic 4G Android Development] krazyflipj:
*EDIT* K0nane beat me to it again!
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Thanks! :)

Thanks for your support - and you're quite right. CWM has a history of being screwy. Wipes are very important!

Metamorph is a tricky app. Come join us in irc.droid-life.com #acs-users and talk to Dreamsforgotten about it.

EDIT:

Seems I'm just too quick for you, krazyflipj. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] fishfuzz:
You could also use Ad Free (in the Market), and choose Revert.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robyn25:
I have seen it mentioned and tried to research it a little but it looked complicated, lol. Believe it or not I have come a long way, just a week and a half ago I was way too scared to even think about rooting. I just kept reading about it everyday and then one day got a wild hair and couldn't make it through the day without rooting and decided to go ahead and go all the way with the ext4 and a custom rom. Yours is the first and only one I have tried and don't really plan on trying another :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
ACS sets the bar high, I must say :D And it was the same with me when I rooted my HTC hero 2 years ago. You just keep learning and learning, some by reading, some by asking, and plenty by doing and screwing it up :p
[Epic 4G Android Development] w2n:
i'm not disagreeing with you; just don't feel it's worth fixing in the grand scheme of things when they're minor functions i almost never use. i only discovered the issue because i wanted to launch everything (and establish a baseline) to see if there were any issues after enabling journaling.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robyn25:
I do agree, ya'll have set the bar high! Ew, I dread that part about screwing it up! Pleaseeee no, lol!

I did almost fall out of my chair when I first ran Odin and it froze. EEK. but it turned out ok haha.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well, so long as you're happy with it, it's all good :)

Lol, it's all learning :D

Is anyone able to charge their phone while it's off?

As soon as connect the charger, the phone turns back on =(.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BroadcastDoc:
I can barely take the waiting! So excited for the latest release - you guys are awesome!
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmmm.... odd. Never noticed this, I'll try to replicate it.

Glad you like it! Thanks for your support! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Robyn25:
yes, I can charge my phone while it is off.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yeah, worked for me too just now. User with the issue, try reflashing the rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] eslogic:
any plans of fixing the SB clock??? it seems a little off with the 4 ;]

Wireless Tether

Sorry I looked this us but couldn't find any help.

Could someone please tell me a fix for the wireless tethering. When I use wireless tether I get a FC and when I use WiFi Tether it connects but doesn't sent any data to my other devices. In the notification bar I get asked to set up my Hotspot and when I click the check mark my phone reboots. Any help would be great.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Don't mess with that hotspot app. Open the wifi tether, and go into settings. Set the phone to Epic 4G, then try again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
Wow, seeing the 1.3 GHz just made me smile... lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, it's going to be great, trust me guys :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] adstuck:
Thanks w2n for pointing me to that post, was finely able to load this rom, thanks you guys for all the help. Now I just need to get the Honeycomb theme to work
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like the rom :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
What you need help with concerning the theme? Just clear out the cache 3x, then dalvik cache 3x and you're good to go. Works great with ACS!
[Epic 4G Android Development] rcastel2:
When the new SyndicateROM version 1.1 is uploaded, can you edit the first post for all the 1) removed apps and 2) AM/PM fix and 3) stock clock app w integrated stopwatch/timer/ ?

Thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] xyexz:
Hey just wanted to say thanks for this rom, although I've had it crash very badly on me multiple times after a couple of smooth awesome days of use.

Never did any battery pulls and left it bone stock flash and started acting weird, I flashed my brother in laws phone and his reboots everytime he's tethered and charges battery to 100%.

Whenever it's hard crashed on me I've had to reflash multiple times, re-downloaded rom zip 2-3 times, wiped 5 times all caches and apps + system + data and still it won't work correctly sometimes, gmail and calendar will FC.

Wow this wasn't meant to be a b!tch session, although it comes out that way... sorry.

I think with journaling on this would be more of a dependable daily driver for me, just in case of a crash where all I do is unlock the phone and boom... hard crash.

I've even tried different batteries and sd cards.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
I'm sure I could convince k0 to do that :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well, there will be a journaling on option in SFB 1.1, so no problem there :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
Whenever I run into issues where reflashing over and over doesn't fix anything, I just simply Odin back to scratch and start all over again. Even try formatting the SD card, but I see you tried different ones. So my advice is just to Odin back to EB13, root/CWM3, clear data/cache/dalvik then flash again. Sometimes you have to try different things to get it to work, but these ROMs do work flawlessly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] stir fry a lot:
Great, that means it can be buggy and we won't have to worry about corruption so... Can you just give us some 1.1 goodness right now?:p
[Epic 4G Android Development] muyoso:
When you do add in these higher clock speeds, what is a good way of stress testing out CPU to make sure that its stable at those speeds?

Edit: Just remembered the SetCPU stress test. Would you recommend using that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Toast95135:
I don't know if it's happened to anyone else, but I was listening to Pandora for an hour or so and then the sound went out. I took out the headphones and wasn't able to get any kind of sound to play with the speaker or through the headphones. It worked fine after I rebooted though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, patience ;) The goods will be here soon enough. We got to make sure all is working well first! Oh, and the updated keyboard lagfix is back ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Interesting, wonder if voodoo sound did something? Have you messed with the DRM app in any way?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Putting the max and min at the highest possible without clicking "set on boot." That way if there's an issue, it just boots right up :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
I've read somewhere that some Epic's won't be able to run 1.3Ghz or higher properly just due to the hardware, like some Epic's are built differently or something, but idk why that would happen... Have you heard about this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
YES! thank you!:D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Of course, all phones are different and unique :) I may be able to run it at 2.0, and you can only go to 1.2. But still, the option will be there to play with, and by doing what I recommend above, you'll know what your phone can/can't handle :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, no problem :) I'm just the messenger, thank our awesome kernel team led by tanimn :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
Yeah, I like the options, I just don't want to be disappointed if my phone happens to be the 1.2 GHz one lol. Oh well, 1.2 is more than fast enough for anything needed to be done on the phone anyways lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, even 1.0 isn't too shabby! I bet many will be able to handle our 1.3 though :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Animas1020:
Yeah seriously lol. The Epic is a beast on its own. I sure hope so, thanks again ACS :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes it is, and no problem, glad you like the rom, and thank you for your support! :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] adstuck:
I had been running 1.01 until my phone freaked out and wouldn't let me flash anything, and then I couldn't get it to boot, so I ordered a replacement working great now. thanks and i got the honeycomb theme working, finely all is right with the world.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you got it and glad it's to your liking :D

WiFi tether works great (when it doesn't crash my phone).

Removing it does seem to have fixed Sprint Tethering though, so I guess it was what was causing the issue (unless it's s coincidence that it works now).
[Epic 4G Android Development] pjjohn73:
Should charge while off. Unless plugged into a dock, then it will start.

LOVE this rom...thanks guys! had to wipe and reinstall the rom but that was because my battery was being a douche and i had to pull it and it corrupted the install...but a clean wipe and reinstall got it working and its better than ever

only thing I am working on now for it is the battery life...its getting progressively worse and worse...i got maybe 3 or 4 apps, nothing using background except facebook and that is once ever 4 hours...did a battery stats reset today gonna see if that helps
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Glad you like the rom! Try using set cpu, on demand, 100-1000 to help battery :D

Impaler747,

Just saw your post about emotionless beast and I have to say I'm impressed. Running your 1.0.2 ROM and just flashed that theme after reading your post about it. It's been next to flawless for me. This is 3x the phone I bought. Glad I so glad I finally got the guts to hack it. I had no idea what I was missing.

I've not had the issues that seem to be prevalent here, but I did spen several days studying the phone, file system(s), OS, and the techniques used to hack these things well before doing it. This is not something that you should rush into. Best to take your time and learn just enough to be dangerous first.

I get a kick out of running the OS unchecked and just backup frequently. Please keep making these super clean ext4 - no journaling ROMs! Soo snappy! Thanks for this lean n' mean Epic. It makes my day just a little nicer. :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Glad you liked it! Emotionless Beast has been one of ACS's most popular themes for a reason. :)

I plan to! I will be including a journaling option for those who want it, but the primary build, and the developer's choice (in other words, the one I've got on my own device) will always be journal-off. ;)

EDIT: That's "journal". With one L.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Tirregius:
Beautiful!

Has anyone tried laying this rom down on a rooted EC05 CW 2.5 RFS system? If so comments concers; Discuss
[Epic 4G Android Development] othan1:
No. I wouldn't do it. But if you do, let us know the results.

Why? Because of this from the first post:

SyndicateROM Frozen is:

* based on EB13

I don't stray from the developer's version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
so far so good on CWM3 ext4 ec05. I missed this rom on stock ec05 so I decided to give it a try and it does seem to work fine (so far)

Dunno about rfs though, since this rom is designed for ext4
[Epic 4G Android Development] castro08:
Do were you already rooted with ext4? And just used the ec05 modem tar with odin? Or did you use to update zip and went to ec05 rooted using onclick root ext4?
[Epic 4G Android Development] gitit20:
I have an Idea this thread is way large lol when you release the new version you should close this one and open a new one just a thought would make it a lot simpler for some of the noobs looking for info and such :P Great Rom BTW I am running this on my personal epic and running ace on my work epic Custom roms are the shiz....

Royce
[Epic 4G Android Development] castro08:
Truee, that's why I hardly get on via a computer it so much easier using the app
[Epic 4G Android Development] djbacon06:
I was on eb13 ext4, decided I wanted to try the update.zip to ec05 (thanks again by the way) and so I used odin to go back to di18. I then applied the update.zip, loaded it, played with stock ec05 for a little bit, and then ran the one click root 3.0.0.5/6.

System re-booted, did the file conversion, and then I flashed syndicate rom after it (already had the zip on my sd card). I did have an issue when I first flashed the rom, it got stuck at the samsung banner so I wiped everything 3X then re-flashed and now it's running just fine.

In hind sight, I probably could have just waited for the update for this rom, but i'm impatient and I wanted to try ec05 for a little bit :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] castro08:
Thank you for explaining yourself completly:) I didn't know if the root to ext4 worked! But now I know thank you so much

Quick question to any who could answer... I try to install the BuddiesNow.apk from the location in data/apps and it doesn't install. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As I've found out, ACS rules.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
BuddiesNow only works with TouchWiz. If you're using Standard, or an alternate launcher on Fully Loaded, that's why it's not working.
[Epic 4G Android Development] anavias:
I just ODINed the EC05 modem onto my ACS RoM 1.02. I kinda messed up and let the battery run out during the process, but with a quick bit of googling and repeated and finished the process, and it appears to be working great so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dohturdima:
Running ACS 1.0.2 with EB05 modem since yesterday. Things were going smoothly until I shut down (properly, waited for the vibrate) and then booted into CWM to wipe battery stats. With that done, rebooted and could not boot past the Samsung logo. Had to reflash everything from CWM backup which I fortunately created as soon as I flashed then EB05 modem after making sure things were working OK. Can wiping the battery stats in CWM cause data corruption in this no-journaling ROM? If yes, looking forward to the next version with journaling enabled.
[Epic 4G Android Development] T3HKMAN:
I'm using TouchWiz from the fully loaded version of this Rom so if more assistance could be provided i would be grateful. I don't even really use Buddies but I'm trying to learn.
[Epic 4G Android Development] brickwall99:
Might as well not even overclock your phone then. lol

1300Mhz to 1350Mhz doesn't look like much, but it is.

Also, if someone was offering you at 1300Mhz Kernel or a 1350Mhz Kernel, which one would you take?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Exactly what I'd take too :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] nimaim:
I'm hearing rumors of 1.3 ghz on the new upcoming ACS release as well. How much are you guys tweaking the voltage tables to achieve this? I'm just curious if you guys are tweaking it to the point that it lowers the already poor battery life we have on our phones. If so, I'm more than happy staying at 1.0 ghz. Performance is already great on our phones. I'm sure you'd have to use an external tool like SetCPU to achieve the 1.3 ghz anyway, so this whole comment is moot, but curious nonetheless :)

By the way, I still haven't flashed anything from EC05 as I am patiently awaiting your release and plan to flash everything (including my sister's phone) at once :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes, the 1.3 is UVed, I'm running it with great battery life :)

Odd thing happened last night...was on the phone listening to messages via bluetooth (I'm running 1.0.2 FWIW) and it randomly cut out. I was then talking to wifey and the same thing happened.

Now, I heard about the sound cutting in and out before, but it was only through the earpiece I thought, not through bluetooth. I called the wife back and put her on speakerphone the rest of the conversation.

Any ideas what would cause this, or do you think it was just a freak accident? I've never had any problems with ACS since 1.0.1 which is when I started running it. I've had no FCs, no improper shutdowns, nothing like that.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Not really anything I've heard before, perhaps try reflashing the rom over itself?
